MPIL_Request_get_name(3)					      LAM/MPI						  MPIL_Request_get_name(3)

NAME

       MPIL_Request_get_name -	LAM/MPI-specific function to get a string name on an MPI_Request

SYNOPSIS

       #include <mpi.h>
       char *
       MPIL_Request_get_name(MPI_Request req)

INPUT PARAMETERS

       req    - MPI_Request (handle)

RETURN VALUE

       If  a  valid  MPI_Request  is  passed  to this function, a valid string will be returned, even if no name was ever set on the request.  The
       string that is returned is a pointer to internal storage and should not be modified or freed.

ERRORS

       If an error occurs in an MPI function, the current MPI error handler is called to handle it.  By default, this error handler aborts the MPI
       job.   The error handler may be changed with MPI_Errhandler_set ; the predefined error handler MPI_ERRORS_RETURN may be used to cause error
       values to be returned (in C and Fortran; this error handler is less useful in with the C++ MPI  bindings.   The	predefined  error  handler
       MPI::ERRORS_THROW_EXCEPTIONS should be used in C++ if the error value needs to be recovered).  Note that MPI does not guarantee that an MPI
       program can continue past an error.

       All MPI routines (except MPI_Wtime and MPI_Wtick ) return an error value; C routines as the value of the function and Fortran  routines	in
       the  last  argument.  The C++ bindings for MPI do not return error values; instead, error values are communicated by throwing exceptions of
       type MPI::Exception (but not by default).  Exceptions are only thrown if the error value is not MPI::SUCCESS .

       Note that if the MPI::ERRORS_RETURN handler is set in C++, while MPI functions will return upon an error, there will be no way  to  recover
       what the actual error value was.
       MPI_SUCCESS
	      - No error; MPI routine completed successfully.
       MPI_ERR_ARG
	      -  Invalid argument.  Some argument is invalid and is not identified by a specific error class.  This is typically a NULL pointer or
	      other such error.
